Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

A motorcyclist is at a much higher risk of being involved in an accident compared to other motorists. A motorcycle has a much smaller profile, is less stable, and is less visible. Unfortunately, even an experienced motorcyclist is at risk of being severely or fatally injured if they’re forced to share the road with a negligent driver. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by a negligent motorist, let a motorcycle accident lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins help you obtain the compensation you need to cover the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and more.

How Can a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Help?

A motorcycle accident can occur in an instant and change your life forever. If you were involved in a collision with a negligent driver, you may be faced with steep ongoing medical costs, lost wages, a totaled motorcycle, and no way to make ends meet. During this stressful time, you must take legal action as soon as possible. 

At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our motorcycle accident attorneys can help you fight for the compensation you deserve for an accident that was caused by the negligence of another.

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.
